SMARTBALL TECHNOLOGY
SmartBall was developed by Pure Technologies to tackle a need that had not previously been addressed by existing leak detection technologies, i.e. to provide an accurate, efficient and sensitive means of detecting and locating leaks in large-diameter pipelines [300 mm), or in non-ferrous pipelines. This is a noninterruptive technology, which means that pipelines do not have to be shut down when detecting leaks in a pipeline.
